Any dealers got the 1 series M on show yet?

[Phooey]

Have any BMW dealers got a car in the showroom yet - preferably in white? Quite fancy having a muse around one of these

I doubt it as launch isn't until 23rd May I think it is

Oh. I thought i read somewhere the car was out in the next few days.

Cheers

BMW Bracknell head office has a white car and an orange car. They're technically pre-production prototypes but in reality are 99.9% the same as the normal cars will be. If you're serious about buying, i'm sure they'd let you have a look. Read the other recent post on the 1M and you'll see photos of these cars as well as video footage of the white one.

Anyone planning on passing there and getting a few snaps of the white car? Looks like an ideal next step from my E46 M3

Thanks for the advice

We have been told that because of the low numbers being sold into the UK dealers will not be getting a launch/demo car allocated. We have two slots for the year which have both been sold.

Blimey, didn't realise it was in such short supply. Is it being marketed as a 'limited edition/model' rather than a full on production M?
